New Recipes Account for Price Rise

In Several Varieties of Canned Soups President Expected

Ask Substantial Boost

In Payroll Tax.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (U.P.).— Congress is prepared to receive from President Roosevelt soon after the new session begins a program for broad extension of the social security system to cover millions of additional workers—with a corresponding boost in federal payroll Chairman Walter F. George «D. Ga.) of the senate finance committee told reporters that congress probably would be asked to rewrite the social security laws, but said he did not know “how broad in scope the request will be.” President Roosevelt wrote George last October that he expected to send congress “a comprehensive program for expanding and extending the whole social security system along the lines laid down in my budget message last January. . « « This program would involve substantial further increases in rates of contribution.” The present payroll tax—used to finance the federally-controlled oldage insurance system—is 1 per cent each on employer and employee.

FDR Seeks Changes

It was understood that. congress will be asked to make the following changes, first outlined in Mr, Roosevelt’s budget message: 1. Nationalize on a uniform basis the unemployment compensation system now handled by the individual states, extend benefits to farm and domestic workers who are not now covered, and include permanent and temporary disability and hospitalization payments. 2. Boost the payroll tax to 5 per cent each on employer and employee, purpose of this change would be to anticipate heavy post-war drains on the reserve funds, finance the liberalized benefit payments, and curb inflation by mopping up purchasing power. 3. Change the present system for old age assistance grants so as to give the poorer states a relatively larger share of available federal funds. The federal government now matches dollar for dollar the rhoney paid out by the states in grants to needy old persons—up to a combined maximum of $40 =a month—but the size of benefits varies widely from state to state and averages less than $25 monthly.

SUPPLIES FOR AFRICA ALREADY PURCHASED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (U. P). —More than $5,000,000 worth of civilian goods has been purchased under the lend-lease program for early shipment to French North Africa, the office of war information said today. : The purchases were made in ac-

THE NEW TYPES of canned soups which are beginning to appear on grocers’ shelves are higher in food value than the old-style soups —one reason why most of them cost a few cents more, according to the office of price administration. The words “new and improved style” or “new recipe” on the labels are the key to differences in price between old and new stocks. These labels explain why the housewife pays more for a can of tomato soup which looks like the can she used to buy at a lower price, and weighs the same. : ’

|Health— Food to Build

= Resistance’

To Disease

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer MANY PEOPLE have the idea that they can build up resistance to germ diseases, such as colds, influenza, pneumonia and so on, by taking vitamins of one kind or another, or by eating some special food. Scientists have found, however, that while vitamins are important for disease resistance, other diet factors are also. Food that builds resistance to disease must supply minerals, protein and fat as well as vitamins. Some Canadian scientists, for example, found that when rats were deprived of vitamin A, only half as many were able to survive attacks of rat typhoid fever germs as|’ when they were getting enough of this vitamin. The same was true when the rats were given vitamin A but deprived of vitamin D. When the rats were fed protein in the form of casein, which is the chief protein of milk and cheese, 90 out of 100 survived the germ attack. When they were fed the principal protein of wheat, instead of the milk and cheese protein, only 57 out of 100 survived the typhoid germ attack. » ” ” s

TURNING from rats to humans, scientists have studied the effect of diet on childhood tuberculosis. Among 1000 cases studied, they found that about one-fourth had been on diets lacking in first class protein, which is the protein from animal sources such as milk, cheese, eggs, fish, poultry and meat. Neary ly two-thirds had had diets deficient in milk and other sources of vitamin A. More than three-fourths, 85%, had been on diets deficient in fruits and vegetables as sources of vitamin C

One kind of chicken soup has 60 per cent more solids; one vegetable soup, 26 per cent more, and one tomato soup, 8 per cent more. - The story of the change in contents goes back to last spring when the war production board ordered the elimination of certain small or odd sizes, and directed that condensed soups contain more dry solids. Later, OPA worked out special ceiling prices based on the ligher cost of making the new soups and on the resulting higher cost to the storekeeper who must ge! in a fresh supply when the ol¢ and cheaper soups have been sold. What added to manufacturing 'expenses besides the increase in dry solids was the general rise in the cost of packing materials and raw foodstuffs.

Studies such as these show how good diet helps the body to resist germ invasion, so that even if you get sick with pneumonia or some other germ disease, your body is better able to fight off the invasion. A good diet includes daily milk, fruit, green, leafy and other vegetables, -whole grain cereals, bread from whole grain or enriched flour, fat, and animal protein from meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese or extra milk.

IF YOU HAVE a naturally pleas"ant voice and if you talk clearly and softly, youre way out there

with charm. Those are special assets in a world where too many women talk like top sergeants. There's a very simple, easy way to improve your voice and diction, too. Just read aloud for 10 minutes every day. Of course you won't get far by sitting in a corner far from the dictionary and just reading any old way. Read slowly, distinctly. And don’t skim over the unfamiliar word with a vague mental note of “hard work” and go-.on. Look it up inf your dictionary. Get the pronun- | ciation accurately, and get the meaning, too. It's being halffamiliar with a word, half-sure of it; that leads to the really embarrassing misuse of it.

Now and then, before beginning your daily reading session, review the words on the pad. See how many of them you can greet as a friend. In reading, and. in talking, remember to speak in sentences. And don’t forget that someétimes the most important of the sentence is the period—I mean the pause that prevents rattling on. Of course, don’t go to the other extreme. The speaker who dawdles between thoughts can be just as irritating as the one who never paragraphs, much less makes sentences. Open your mouth and let the words out; don’t mutter behind half-open lips. Best speech is soft but rich and warm in tone, clear but not clipped.
